• X users are complaining about an influx of low-quality ads promoting crypto scams and AI “undressing” apps.
  • The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
  • The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk’s controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

    I mean…youtube is the same tho. I constantly get ads for apps that are basically flat out saying you can use it to make porn of anyone you want. Not to meniton the constant scams. There is that big one that pops up all the time claiming you can get a online only, no experience necessary, data entry job for Disney starting at something crazy like $25 an hour.

    Musk is shit, X is shit but…all of them allow these kinds of ads.

          It’s a couple clicks. I’d seriously recommend it because I’ve found that Google actually will improve their recommendations if you tell them stuff you’re not interested in.

        Yep, money is too good to be true for a job like that for one thing but I saw someone talk about it and a few others like it. You go through all the steps, give them your personal information, and then you get dumped on a generic job seeking website and then get spammed to death for months.

          $25 an hour is sadly not too good for any job in the US these days. $50k doesn’t go that far anymore.

            Define “the US” because 25 an hour is living a life of luxury in much of the US that’s not a major city
